Tentatively planned as a follow-up to 20Ten in conjunction with the Welcome 2 America tour (which ran from December 2010 to May 2011) but abandoned for unknown reasons.
Prince himself published only the songs Hot Summer (premiered on Minnesota public radio station 89.3 The Current s website on June 7th 2010 / Prince s 52nd birthday) and Same Page, Different Book (streamed as audio over a static video on the 3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel on January 6th 2013).
Ten years after the abandonment of the Welcome 2 America album, the Prince Estate released what s believed to be the final configuration.
It should be mentioned that different versions of When She Comes and 1000 Light Years From Here (the last 3:05 minutes of Black Muse) are initially released on the final studio album released prior to his death HITNRUN Phase Two.
On April 8th 2021, the first single (Welcome 2 America) was made available for download as a preview of this release. A physical edition was released simultaneously with the album.
The performance on the Blu-Ray was previously bootlegged on LA Diaries (audio only).
The German Rolling Stone magazine issued a cover-mount 7" vinyl single of Hot Summer backed with a live recording of The Bird (taken from the deluxe editions Blu-Ray).
